BEE-Have oh Yeah Baby · **1 Like**

Was working in the 'outdoor office' such a nice a day and chased this fellow (I distract easily) 10 shots and this is the only one that turned out. He was huge , I'll get'em next time

Hey, Dave - an amazing photo. You've got both good reflexes and guts - when I see one of the critters I inconspicuously find somewhere else to be.

Excellent shot. Nice detail in the bee, and the colors are great.

Thanks Susan Damn you ask all the tough questions !

Wow, caught him with a 105, that's impressive, not to mention a lot of chaising. I tried to get one with a 90 the other day and never even got the shutter released. Much easier with the 300.

That is one nice, colorful picture. Good job!

Thanks Norm , I covet the 300 some day. He was hanging around the baskets on the deck , so the distance was not far , but he never still still long , I was very close.

Awesome shot Dave! I love the colours and it just amazing how crisp the bee is with the bokeh directly in front of him. Great capture!

Wow, that's just super. One of those shots you can proudly show off to other photography enthusiasts.
